Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Regal 1900 RS 2009 vs Regal 42 Sport Coupe 2011: Same Brand, Different Boat
The Regal 1900 RS 2009 is a deep-V design and the Regal 42 Sport Coupe 2011 is a modified-V design, so you're likely deciding between two noticeably different on-water experiences. Hull type shapes everything from ride quality and fuel burn to dock handling and resale trajectory.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Regal 42 Sport Coupe 2011 measures 42,3 feet overall (2011), giving it roughly 22,5 additional feet of deck space compared to the Regal 1900 RS 2009 at 19,8 feet (2009). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Regal 42 Sport Coupe 2011 tips the scales at 18 800 lbs - 15 700 lbs less than the Regal 1900 RS 2009 at 3 100 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.
The Regal 1900 RS 2009 is rated for up to 8 people. Passenger data for the Regal 42 Sport Coupe 2011 wasn't available.
Bottom line: The Regal 42 Sport Coupe 2011 at 42,3 ft is the right call if deck space, comfort, and entertaining are top of your list. The Regal 1900 RS 2009 at 19,8 ft wins on trailering ease, likely lower purchase price, and simpler docking - a solid choice for a buyer who wants more boat for less money.
